Superannuation Injustice Petition

Donna La Fauci from Tauranga & WBOP Grey Power

Repealing Section 70 of the Social Security Act 2018.
We believe this law adversely affects those in a permanent relationship with a person who has an overseas pension; that a couple is not treated as individuals but as an 'economic unit', with the New Zealander then finding they lose most, if not all, of their superannuation which is an 'individual entitlement'. This form of means testing can cause not just a monetary loss but a loss of independence. This puts a strain on relationships and affects people's emotional and physical health.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power

Pat from Welcome Bay

That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
